The concept is designed to incorporate a New Topic powerful front-mounted, V-10 engine and a new high-performance, rear-wheel-drive based version of Acura's 'Super Handling All-Wheel Drive' (SH-AWD).

As with the Coupé it has now assumed a more aggressive appearance, a substantial influence being the new front and rear bumpers. On the latter there is a new rear diffuser, in which the exhaust system is integrated within a tailpipe. As with the Coupé the new 6.5 litre (6.496 cm3) 60° V-engine and 640 PS (471 kW) at 8,000 min-1 is now used also in the Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster. At 6,000 min-1 the 12-cylinder engine reaches the maximum torque of 660 Nm. Naturally the Lamborghini Murciélago meets all the current valid European and North American emission standards. Higher performance and torque naturally mean increased demand on the drive components. A six-gear transmission adapted to these requirements, plus a stronger rear differential and new half-axles, have therefore been deployed in the new Murciélago Roadster. An e-gear transmission with a newly tuned thrust mode (acceleration program) is also available as an option. Innovations have also been made to the electronics. With a closed loop control system the revised electronic control units improve the road performance and the response characteristics of the engine. All engine and vehicle parameters are controlled and monitored through a combination of three ‘master’ and one ‘slave’ control units. 2008 Honda Accord Honda has officially announced the all-new Accord coupe concept, and it looks a whole lot more compact than expected. It seems not that much bigger than a Civic, in fact, except it has a somewhat Mustang-esque front end and a Tiburon-like profile. Unveiled at NAIAS in Detroit, the Accord coupe has a "long hood, deeply sculpted lower body and fastback roofline." Under the hood is a "more powerful and lower-emissions V6 engine", said to provide "higher fuel efficiency with the incorporation of Honda's next-generation Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology." And yes, it's got variable valve timing too, via Honda's i-VTEC system. 2008 Scion tC What would happen if a Japanese carmaker built an interpretation of the classic 1949 Mercury lead-sled hot rod? The Scion Fuse concept, that's what. The Fuse's low stance, chopped roofline, and sinister expression make it a pretty arresting car to behold, even with its Chrysler 300-style vertical taillights. Developed and built in California, the Fuse is likely a preview of the next-generation tC coupe: Scion discusses the concept's "intention to expand the performance envelope among affordable, entry-level sport coupes." If Toyota's cradle-robbing brand builds an affordable coupe that looks this cool, the car certainly would find its way onto our favorites list. Still, the tC's successor is surely a few years down the road, and many of the Fuse's features are pretty fanciful for production duty. LED turn signals residing at the end of each spoke of the requisite twenty-inch wheels highlight the concept-only bits. A big sunroof, scissor doors, and wi-fi Internet access enhance street cred, while parking-lot cred is assisted by a versatile cabin that includes two flat-screen TVs and front seats that can transform into a footrest/table. A proper truck tailgate is no longer a prerequisite for pregame fun, and the Fuse sports a slick bench that flips out of the rear cargo area. The Fuse also snags a couple tailgating features from the Dodge Caliber: adjustable speakers for tailgating and a cooler for beverages. 2008 Pontiac G6 GXP Pontiac has announced two new GXP models for the 2008 model year. Both the G6 and Torrent will be recipients of new performance related upgrades. Originally shown as a concept car last year, the new 2008 G6 GXP will be available as both a sedan and a coupe. The G6 GXP will feature a new 3.6L DOHC V-6 engine that produces 252 horsepower backed by a Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission. Other features of the 2008 G6 GXP will include performance-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels, and GXP-unique exterior and interior details. The 2008 Torrent GXP sports a slightly more powerful 3.6L DOHC V-6 engine, which produces 263 horsepower. The enhanced engine brings the performance-oriented SUV to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. Much like the G6 GXP, the Torrent GXP will feature lowered suspension, 18-inch wheels, and unique exterior details. Both AWD and FWD versions of the Torrent GXP will be made available. 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Chrysler has revealed the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 — a more powerful version of its popular two-seat sports cars. It will arrive in Dodge showrooms in North America this summer. The SRT model gains an additional 90 horsepower from the new 8.4-liter powerplant, for a total of 600 hp and 560 lb.-ft. of torque. Zero to 60 mph takes under four seconds, and 0-100-0 mph is completed in just over 12 seconds. The Viper SRT10's 8.4-liter engine breathes through new cylinder heads equipped with CNC-machhined combustion chambers, larger valves and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). VVT electronically adjusts when the exhaust valves are open and closed according to engine speed and load. The Viper SRT10's V10 channels its power through a new, smaller-diameter, twin-disc clutch. The transmission is the latest evolution of the Tremec T56 six-speed manual, known as the TR6060. It features 10 percent wider gears for higher torque capacity and a new synchronizer package. Stopping power is another key attribute of the Dodge Viper SRT10 formula, with 14-inch brake rotors gripped by Brembo dual opposing calipers, good for 60-to-0 mph in less than 100 feet. 2008 Jaguar S-Type Jaguar is dumping retro design for the new S-type in exchange for a contemporary feel inside and out. The four-door sedan will be a reskin of the current car and offer a roomier interior and more cargo space. The styling may be different, but the targets--the BMW 5-series, the Audi A6, and the Mercedes-Benz E-class--will remain the same. The S-type arrives in 2007. 2008 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nissan gave the world a big glimpse of its keenly anticipated 2008 Skyline GT-R with this carefully constructed show car. The GT-R PROTO is not a near-production model, though, as the interior is just a blank black panel, and Nissan is providing absolutely no details on the powertrain, suspension, or other critical technical details. Nissan wants to maintain the car's mystique for another two years, since the production car won't debut until the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. Besides, the GT-R development team is still camped out at the Nürburgring, fine- tuning what is sure to be the most exciting new Nissan to come along in years. Yet there is plenty to glean from the muscular show car, which features the Skyline GT-R's signature four round taillamps as well as four big-bore mufflers. Shaped as much for aerodynamic efficiency and functionality as for awesome road presence, the GT-R PROTO should whet the appetite and please the masses. With Nissan insiders under a strict, mafia-like code of omerta (silence), the Tokyo grapevine reports that the 2008 production car will have a twin-turbo V-6 engine displacing about 3.8 liters and producing somewhere between 400 and 500 hp. We hope it will be closer to the latter figure. It also will feature an updated version of Nissan's ATTESA all-wheel-drive system.

    UNCLE WICK Written by Gabe Delahaye EXT. DUBAI - NIGHT The glittering skyscrapers of oil rich Dubai loom over the Arabian sea. We pass through them and down the coast... ...to a PALATIAL ESTATE: luscious green gardens in the middle of the desert, an olympic-sized swimming pool, ARMED GUARDS lining the roof and patrolling the perimeter... We push into... INT. LIBRARY - PALATIAL ESTATE - DUBAI - CONTINUOUS House music thuds in the background. There is a party happening at the house, but this BRASS AND LEATHER LIBRARY is where serious business happens. ANGLE ON: an IMPERIOUS CRIME LORD sipping tea at the head of a massive antique table, surrounded by his HENCHMEN. This is HAMZA (60s) head of “The Nizam,” a league of assassins. HAMZA We’re not having this discussion again. The peace with Skalnikoff and The Colony has been to everyone’s financial benefit. They take the lion’s share of western assignments, but the Nizam controls the east, and with it-- TARIK This isn’t peace. This is Skalnikoff waiting for our guard to drop, so he can strike. If you don’t come for him, he’ll come for you, father. ANGLE ON: TARIK (30s) at the opposite end of the table. He has the bearing of an ungrateful prince: controlled by his father and desperate to take his place. HAMZA I admire your ambition, my son, but you still have much to learn. In the background, the CLUB MUSIC cuts out and we hear SCREAMS. The men at the table perk up, on high alert. A HENCHMAN peaks out the window, shakes his head to signal: the roof is empty.

  • Null: 2005 Chrysler Brand (Outside North America)
    Contact: Michele Callender Ariel Gavilan Chrysler Heritage (Outside North America) Press kit translations are available in pdf format to the right under "Attached Documents." February 28, 2005, Auburn Hills, Mich. - The year 2004 was a landmark year for the Chrysler brand, with a fantastic display of new vehicles, model improvements and growing quality and technological prowess. In the year that marked the Chrysler brand’s 80th anniversary, the brand introduced seven new or refreshed models to markets outside of North America. Chrysler has repeatedly introduced unconventional vehicles and engineering innovations. Those innovations range from the Chrysler Six, which in 1924 redefined what a passenger car should be, to cab-forward designs and segment- defining MPVs that helped crystallise the brand’s image in the 1990s, to exciting current products like the Chrysler 300C Sedan, Touring and SRT8. The influence of the Chrysler brand’s past upon its future manifests itself in every new Chrysler product. Chrysler Brand Historical Highlights 1924: Walter P. Chrysler introduces the 1924 Chrysler Six — one of the most advanced and exciting cars of its day. The Chrysler Six is a quality light car — power in a small package — something no other brand is offering at the time. The vehicle makes maximum use of a high-speed, high-compression engine with incredible power and small displacement — along with other features such as hydraulic brakes. This becomes the first modern automobile at a very moderate price — a revolutionary concept in its day. 1925-1933: Chrysler broadens the model line to four separate series. Imperial emerges as a top-level luxury/performance car.

  • Forged Composite®” Technology for the Suspension Arms of the Sesto Elemento
    LAMBORGHINI “FORGED COMPOSITE®” TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SUSPENSION ARMS OF THE SESTO ELEMENTO Paolo Feraboli1, Federico Gasco, Bonnie Wade Automobili Lamborghini Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, University of Washington Seattle, WA (USA) Steve Maier, Roger Kwan Innovative Composite Engineering White Salmon, WA (USA) Attilio Masini, Luciano DeOto, Maurizio Reggiani Automobili Lamborghini Advanced Composites Research Center Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A Sant’Agata Bolognese (ITA) ABSTRACT Recent composite technology research and development efforts have focused on new out- of-autoclave material forms, and automated processes that can markedly increase production efficiencies. In a fashion similar to the aviation industry, manufacturers of high performance automobiles are moving away from costly manufacturing processes based on manual lay-up of prepreg and autoclave cure. Since 2007, the research and development efforts at Lamborghini have aimed at reducing composite part cost and increasing production rate. This effort has culminated in the development of Forged Composite® technology, which is an advanced compression molding technique that utilizes carbon fiber sheet molding compounds. This publication constitutes the first public technical disclosure of both Forged Composite® and of the control arms manufactured using this technology. The process, which uses high pressures but conventional temperatures, is used to manufacture parts with complex geometries and subject to combined loadings, which were typically manufactured as aluminum and titanium forgings. This technology was used to manufacture the inner monocoque and the suspension control arms of the Sesto Elemento, a multi-million dollar composite technology demonstrator vehicle unveiled in September 2010 at the Paris Autoshow. This paper focuses on the development of the suspension control arms, which aim at a 30% weight reduction, as well as a cost and cycle time reduction with respect to the baseline forged aluminum construction.
